It’s the last week of December and we’ve got a guess about what you’re doing right now: you’re on your phone or tablet or phablet (a cringe-inducing word if ever there was one), you’re sitting on the oversized couch in your parents/sibling’s house (why are their cushions so big?!), and you have various relatives scattered around you doing the exact same thing. None of you are wearing clothes worthy of even a selfie. There is a pile of candy within arm’s reach at all times. Perhaps there’s a strange dog taking a break from getting up in your business? It’s the last week of the year and America’s favorite pastime is chilling.

Why now? For one thing, you and your family are staring at different screens. Why not stream something together and all look at the same screen at the same time? But why stream JCVJ, a series starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as “himself”? If I’ve learned one thing from all of my weeks spent lounging on couches post-Christmas, it’s that there are two types of movies that families love watching together: dumb comedies, and dumb action movies. Jean-Claude Van Johnson is the rare show that is both a dumb comedy and a dumb action adventure–and I mean that in the best way possible!

As I said, the show stars JCVD as himself, or rather a version of himself that moonlighted as a black ops agent while shooting legendary action flicks like Bloodsport and Timecop. JCVD is playing JCVD, except he’s playing a version of JCVD that really does all the things that JCVD does in JCVD movies. The show, which comes from Key & Peele director Peter Atencio (so you know this project has serious comedy cred), follows Van Damme as he comes out of retirement as both an actor and special agent, proving that there’s no age limit on the splits. Although, like, they aren’t as easy to do anymore.

The show is part comedy, part action show, and part parody. JCVJ could have easily been the Austin Powers of ’80s action movies, but the show is actually way deeper than that. For one thing, the parody parts are way more spot-on; it doesn’t feel so much like a riff on Van Damme’s macho filmography as a worthy entry into his canon. The show keeps a straight face while dropping implausible reveal on implausible reveal, especially the one that allows JCVD to go full wacky in dual roles as “himself” and a wimpy janitor.

And that’s where the comedy comes in! By constantly reiterating that their story takes place in the “real world,” the most insane stuff (drifting in a European trash buggy, a gritty film reboot of Huckleberry Finn, a plastic knife capable of slicing open a stomach) really pops as truly bizarre. The show straddles the line between being a legit action movie and a legit comedy, a push and pull that keeps you guessing as to what will happen next.

The best part about this binge, though? It’s six 30-minute episodes. Yeah, this is a binge you can knock out in less than the time it would take you to watch just one Lord of the Rings movie! Van Johnson is basically a three-hour JCVD action movie, with new twists and turns (and a few splits) arriving every half hour.

Not only will Jean-Claude Van Johnson please the members of your family with warm nostalgia for ’80s action, it will win over the younger generation with it’s off-kilter sense of humor. And the whole thing will be done by the time it’s time to put on real pants and head out and put those Chili’s gift cards to work. So get your loved ones to turn off their screens and focus up, because now’s the time to stream the splits!
